Arizona lawmaker Jeff Flake compared Donald Trump to Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin on Wednesday, delivering a blistering attack on the president to a nearly empty U.S. Senate chamber.
The Republican has become one of Trump's favorite targets, earning a presidential nickname – 'Jeff Flakey' – since his impending retirement has freed him to openly castigate the White House on several fronts.
'It is a testament to the condition of our democracy that our own president uses words infamously spoken by Josef Stalin to describe his enemies,' Flake said, citing a Trump tweet in which he branded five news outlets 'the enemy of the American people.'

The Flakster’s Senate audience was but two fellow Rats. Nobody listens to him.
I compare Flake to an idiot.
I compare Flake to Vidkun Quisling
How to blow up your own credibility: compare the President to Hitler or Stalin.
It doesn’t get stupider than that.
WTH is it with Arizona anyway? Stop electing horrible senators. Wear a hat when you go out in the sun.
Flake is a Geraldo loon. Google him with “bare chest” and look at what he let be caught on film and publicized.
Is Jeff Flake exposing his ignorance and incompetence by making such a stupid and outrageous claim? Has he read any books about Stalin, e.g. Gulag or the Iron Curtain?
Why is Flake resorting to name calling, an item from the Democrats playbook?
No....he’s a Mormon.
I watched Flake’s speech yesterday, what a loon. I don’t recall him being upset about 0bama attacking Fox News, and actually having journalists investigated. Guess Flake thought that was OK, because it was 0bama.
Got a kick out of this politician trying to nail down his false meme on how we need the lying MSM by telling us how NO POLITICIAN can tell us what the truth is - ironic that he did exactly what he claims Trump is doing, only instead of pointing out lies as lies, he calls the liars the protectors of Freedom....
Out of touch, angry,cowardly , useless bastard!!
...because Stalin liked to tweak the media rather than have them arrested or liquidated. Sure, Jeff....
Flake is just a sore loser. A Democrat too. But that’s redundant.
Mormons. LDS has it in for President Trump. Why you ask? Immigration.
Flake is a traitorous asshole...and a Gutless quitter.
When Trump has starved 30 million people to death and sends another 14 million people to prison camps and deports and exiles another 8 million because they disagree with his policies or speak out against him, then you can compare him to Stalin. Until then I am convinced that Flake is, well, a FLAKE.
If Trump were Stalin, Flake and a couple of hundred of his Congressional colleagues would have been hanging by meathooks in a subterranean industrial basement somewhere in the hinterlands of Loudoun County by now.

I saw Flake on TV. He literally has his nose out of joint
What do you think Flake’s endgame is, a Presidential run?
But Jeffy is actually projecting, and would happily kill or imprison his perceived enemies if given half a chance.
